Estrogens are part of the female hormones that are also found in abundance in the foods we eat as well as our surrounding environment. Today, estrogen is found and marketed mostly in foods such as soy, flax and all seeds, beans, pods and peas. Excess environmental estrogens in pollution and in foods contribute to various estrogen dominant conditions in women from uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, fibrocystic breast conditions, endometriosis and infertility. While dietary and environmental estrogen from soy formula, pesticides and plastics have been shown to be responsible for very early onset of menstruation in young girls.
In both sexes, estrogen dominance causes fat gain from the waist to the knees, moodiness, crankiness, lack of libido and depression.
Sinest® is a preparation of proven estrogen blocking or aromatase inhibiting agents to either block the action of estrogen in the body or block the making of estradiol and estrone, the two most dangerous and carcinogenic forms of estrogen.* While many supplements have these ingredients, they are normally not found in a dosage sufficient to have a physiological effect. According to the head of hormone research at Georgetown University, these herbs only have the anti estrogenic actions when taken in doses above 1 gram (1000 mg) of the raw powdered herbs. In creating Sinest™, full strength extracts of the component herbs were used and combined so that in a single caplet there is the equivalent of over a teaspoon (5000 mg) of each herb.
